Decision on triple talaq should be acceptable to all, says Tariq Anwar.

There are many Muslim nations which have already banned triple Talaq, he said.

Anwar slammed the BJP for trying to take credit for the surgical strikes.

NCP MP Tariq Anwar has said that the decision of the Supreme Court on the controversial triple talaq must be acceptable to all the stakeholders.

Speaking to journalists, Tariq Anwar said that the Centre which has come with its proposal to end triple talaq would be taken into consideration by the Supreme Court after which it will come with its verdict.

"The central government has given its proposal to ban triple talaq in India. Also, there are many Muslim countries which have already banned triple talaq. Many Muslim organizations and Muslim women are raising the demand of banning triple talaq.

There are also voices within the Muslim community which is saying that triple talaq is un-Islamic", said Tariq Anwar, NCP MP.

BURNING OF EFFIGIES ARE NORMAL

Speaking on the issue of burning of PM Narendra Modi's effigy inside the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus on the occasion of Dussera, Tariq Anwar said that the matter should not be given importance as such kind of things are normal when one is in public life.

"One should not take the issue of burning PM's effigy I JNU very seriously. Such kind of things happen in public life. There are instances where effigies of CM, PM and public representatives like us are torched," said the NCP MP.

Tariq Anwar slammed the BJP for trying to take credit for the surgical strikes carried against Pakistan and said that the saffron party was trying to take political mileage of the issue ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections.

He, however, asserted that the issue of surgical strike which BJP was raising especially in poll bound UP would not benefit them.

"BJP is trying to take credit for the surgical strikes. We see that the PM is crediting the Defence Minister and on the other hand the defence Minister is crediting the PM for these strikes. It is all a drama to fool the people. Those who have sacrificed their lives have been pushed to the back. Such strikes have not taken for the first time but the BJP is indulging into propaganda as if such strikes have taken place for the first time in the country", said Tariq Anwar.
